Sid Lee and City of New York Take Volunteering Mobile with NYC Service Volunteer App

New York, NY – Volunteering in New York City has made its way into the digital age courtesy of NYC Service, agency Sid Lee NY and SocialEffort. Looking to increase volunteer rates from 18% to 50% and making it easier for New Yorkers to plug into opportunities across this city, NYC Service was facing a serious problem convincing people to volunteer for their city. So, taking the entire volunteer process mobile, NYC Service, Sid Lee, and SocialEffort introduced the NYC Service Volunteer App: an easy-to-use, powerful extension of the already successful campaign created to raise awareness about the benefits of volunteering in NYC.

The all-new app is a robust addition to the recently launched brand overhaul, workwear design, and outdoor campaign. Characterized by an eye-catching neon color palette and simple, fun, and iconographic line illustrations, the citywide initiative featured messaging designed to engage a range of New Yorkers, from young upstarts to senior citizens. Similarly, the app contains a host of features, allowing a diverse group of users to better discover volunteering opportunities according to their interests and busy schedules.

With the app, users can:

Create a new account or log in with an existing NYC Service account
